Since that night, the Jiang brothers have not had a chance to see Jiang Li.
Jiang Li leaves early and returns late. If they hadn't accidentally heard noises coming from Jiang Li's room, they would have really thought that Jiang Li hadn't come back.
If this had happened in the past, some people would have had some reservations.
But now...
I have absolutely no ideas.
However, those who wanted to play the role of a good older brother had absolutely no chance to curry favor with Jiang Li.
Jiang Chengxi, as always, was busy all day long, focusing all his energy on the company, and had no time to think about these things.
that's all……
It wasn't until Jiang Chi was discharged from the hospital that everyone was able to see Jiang Li again.
To celebrate Jiang Chi's discharge from the hospital, the Jiang family held a special gathering for relatives and friends.
Jiang Li had no intention of showing up.
What does the Jiang family gathering have to do with her?
Absolutely no interest.
Jiang Chengxi found her. He seemed to understand Jiang Li's thoughts. His expression was somewhat resolute, but he still asked, "Don't you want to go?"
“This is a matter for your Jiang family. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to go,” Jiang Li replied without hesitation.
This was indeed what she truly felt, and she didn't like this kind of occasion either.
Jiang Chengxi's eyes darkened slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. He said, "You saved Dad and pulled him back from the brink of death. Regardless of whether you are a member of the Jiang family or not, you should attend this event."
Moreover, Jiang Li was not originally the doctor who was scheduled to perform the surgery on Jiang Chi.
She stepped in to save Jiang Chi, and both morally and logically, the Jiang family should be grateful to her.
Jiang Li thought for a moment, then changed her mind for some reason, "Okay, I'll show up then."
Jiang Chi had escaped death, so the Jiang family put a lot of effort into this festive gathering. The decorations were mostly red, and someone who didn't know the situation might have thought they were celebrating a wedding.
However, everyone knew about Jiang Chi's situation, so even the uninvited partners sent people to offer their condolences.
after all……
Even if the other party doesn't tell them, they still need to express their gratitude.
However, those people were all shrewd; they left quickly after delivering the gifts.
It was, after all, a private gathering, and it wasn't appropriate for outsiders to linger.
When Jiang Li appeared, most of the guests had already left, but some people deliberately stayed.
Upon seeing Jiang Li, someone immediately went to greet her.
"You must be the doctor who performed surgery on Mr. Jiang?" The man's tone was full of respect. "I didn't expect you to look so young, doctor, um..."
Jiang Li immediately saw through the other person's intention in contacting her. "Do you need something?"
The other person nodded, looking somewhat melancholy. "I shouldn't have come to see you at a time like this, but... I really have no other choice."
Seeing that Jiang Li didn't speak, the man paused and continued with his frustration, "It's like this, my older brother suddenly fell ill and we've seen so many doctors without any effect. I heard that many doctors said that President Jiang's condition was incurable, but in the end you performed the surgery and President Jiang is recovering. So I wanted to come and give it a try... just in case it works?"
"Seeking a doctor is useless," Jiang Li replied without changing her expression. "Your older brother isn't sick, so medical treatment can't cure him."
"You mean..." The man looked puzzled.
"Jiang Li!" A frustrated voice suddenly rang out from the side, "You're spreading rumors again!"
As soon as Jiang Li turned her head, she saw Jiang Xueqi. Her expression remained unchanged, and she said coolly, "Oh, you're back?"
Jiang Li simply greeted her, but Jiang Xueqi felt that Jiang Li was mocking her.
Jiang Xueqi clenched her fists tightly, biting her lip and saying with a restrained expression, "Jiang Li, Dad's surgery was very successful, and he is recovering. Now that there's a family banquet, I should come back to see Dad no matter what. Otherwise... wouldn't I be an unfilial and disloyal person?"
"If that's the case, why aren't you going to see Mr. Jiang? What are you doing here in front of me?" Jiang Li bluntly exposed Jiang Xueqi's lie.
Jiang Xueqi's expression froze, then she tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I just don't want you to talk nonsense and offend Dad's business partners. It's one thing if you say something carelessly, but if it affects the family business, can you take responsibility for that?"
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Xueqi with a half-smile, "You should worry about yourself. Always meddle in other people's business. Don't you think you're getting old faster?"
Jiang Xueqi's face suddenly paled.
For some reason, her hair has been falling out a lot these past few days, and her skin is getting rougher and rougher.
Although she left the Jiang family, she still uses quite a few of her usual skincare products and hasn't changed them at all.
But she really does look much older.
She then glared at Jiang Li with resentment and demanded, "Did you do this?"
Jiang Li looked bewildered. "What? Did I do it?"
"Did you do this to me?" Jiang Xueqi approached Jiang Li, tugged at her hair, and several strands fell into her palm. She growled angrily, "Did you put something wicked on me that made me like this?"
Jiang Li blinked and couldn't help but laugh. "It seems you still haven't taken my words to heart. Everything you're facing now is what you deserve, and it has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, ignoring Jiang Xueqi's ugly expression, Jiang Li continued, "Oh, right, don't you think you're disgusting? You lose clumps of hair all the time, and you still walk around with your hair all over the place. Are you afraid that your hair won't fall on something you eat or drink?"
Jiang Xueqi seemed to recall that scene, and suddenly covered her head with both hands, turned around and ran to the corner.
She came here today to see her parents and ask for their forgiveness, not to argue with Jiang Li.
Although life outside is more comfortable than some people's, it can't compare to being at the Jiang family's house.
so……
She must take this opportunity to come back!
Jiang Li turned to look at the somewhat stunned man beside her, "I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."
The man immediately shook his head, still thinking about what Jiang Li had said earlier, "You said before that my older brother wasn't sick, so what was it?"
Jiang Li glanced at him and then asked, "Is now a convenient time?"
"Um?"
“I’ll go with you to check on your brother.” Jiang Li’s expression turned serious. “The sooner we see him, the sooner it will be over. Judging from the deathly aura you’re carrying, if we don’t get there quickly, your brother… I’m afraid he won’t be able to be saved.”
Upon hearing this, the man no longer cared about anything else.
They immediately and respectfully ushered Jiang Li out.
Just as Jiang Li was about to get into that person's car, she was stopped by a pair of slender hands.
